Penny and I complete our final preparations. We leave early Monday morning and arrive (we hope) in Rome on Tuesday. Our 4-week trek is nearly all planned, leaving a wide margin between where we are going and how we will get there. Neither of us had the space in our lives to do a thorough planning, so we will enjoy the leisure pace and hope to do lots of walking, writing and tasting along the way.
I hope to post on this site a few times as we travel, but I refuse to commit to a daily entry. This trip is for reflection, taking in the scenery and edging away from the race against time that we find ourselves. It has been quite some time that I have felt the need for a retreat, and the beginning is only a few hours away. I have books to read and write, boots to soil, and a picnic set in my suitcase that I hope will see many sunny days and hunks of cheese.
I will miss Kylie terribly, sorry, she is the only family member that will make profound changes in one month. And I will be keeping a close eye on the Johnson blog.
Back real soon,
Carol
